Baby Scrapbook Layouts

3 of my original layouts all about baby

Baby Scrapbook Layouts - See how I used different techniques and embellishments for these baby designs. These are not the traditional baby look – I guess I
like something just a little bit different. : ) You'll see how I used
giant chip board letters, glitter, a mini accordion album, tissue paper,
labels and other techniques to create these fun layouts.

I used one of my favorite techniques
on this layout...a mini accordion album. I love doing this when I have
multiple photos for the same event or theme. So often, there are just
too many photos to fit on one layout and doing a technique like this
helps me to put all the photos in/on the layout without having to
actually place them in the design. And I also love wallet size
photos...just wish they weren't so expensive. : ) This is a super simple
layout. I used a solid color blue card stock and inked around the edges
with my black stamp pad. Then I matted the main photo. Next I used the
multi colored rub ons to form his name/nickname. I added the “head” on
the end. That isn't part of his name – just something I called him at
that age. Finally, I created the mini accordion album and put the extra
wallet size photos in there. I usually have quite a few from when I am
trying to get a “good” one. So the little album has all the other “Noah
faces.”

I love the giant “W” chipboard piece. I
got that at my local scrapbook store. I'm sure the size of it would
make a fun scrapbooking on the wall embellishment. Someday I'd like to
try a large canvas layout as an art piece for one of the rooms in my
house...someday....
I started this layout with the red cardstock. Then came the blue/brown
harlequin paper. I added a tiny jewel to each point where the harlequins
meet and I worte in quite a few of the blue diamonds. Next came the
chipboard W and then the photo. I used my Fiskars shape cutting system
to cut out the circle photo. Then I used my Dymo labeler to create the
black accent phrases under the harlequin pattern. And finally I did some
hand journaling. It is so sweet to look back on those times!

Baby Scrapbook Layouts 3

This layout started with the khaki
cardstock. Next came the polka dot pattern. Then I used gift wrap tissue
paper for the matting under the photo. I cut it into a square and then
crumpled it up and flattened I back out. The tissue paper is also a fun
technique to use on scrapbook card designs. Next, I inked the chipboard W
with my sepia ink pad and then smeared glitter glue on top of that. I
then placed the 3 months sticker in the upper left corner and finally
did the hand journaling. I love hand journaling...it makes it so
personal!
